If your talking to me. I'm not sure, never had an ABS DTC. I'd have to get out the instructions for that. Why anyway, -some don't? I've used it to scan DTC's since I've owned it and it's never failed. It reads all your monitors as well and is CAN compliant.

That's a nice one. Yea, gives you much more info than mine. Mine just displays the DTC's. It came with a CD of DTC codes you can use to look them up if your unfamiliar with them. From there, you would have to go to the internet for more info.
With the CP9580, it's all right there and then some it seems.

I can tell you one important detail, - these Actrons are very durable. Mines been banged around and stored out in the truck. Subjected to sub zero temps many times over and it's always worked.

This is what I bought before. Worked on my Blazer and has been tossed around, in the cold garage, in the truck year round..

did a good job with the blazer. I guess I was just looking for something a little more.

Thanks guys. I think Im set now.
